USACE breaks ground on new youth center in Brussels

In a unique ground breaking ceremony, children from the Brussels
American Middle School officially marked the start of construction on
a new youth center January 20 by digging with their own shovels. The
new $6.4 million center, being managed by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Europe District, includes a large open activity area, three
activities rooms to accommodate a variety of activities to include
arts and crafts, a computer lab/homework center, a large multi-purpose
room, snack/kitchen area and a teen lounge. The facility will
accommodate roughly 150 students and is expected to be complete in
early 2011. (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo by Carol E. Davis)
